Like so many Washington bureaucrats, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has forgotten for whom she works. When asked about demands for her resignation, she stated that she does not work for the people who want her to resign. Clearly she is confused.

We are a representative republic, Ms. Sebelius, and you and your expanding cohort of federal bureaucrats work for all of us. Your true employer is "we the people," not the president.
